Abstract

The invention relates to a power plant (1) for producing electrical power. The power plant (1) comprises a vehicle (2) comprising at least one wing (3) arranged to be secured to a structure (9) by means of at least one tether (8). The vehicle (2) is arranged to move with a varying speed over a predetermined trajectory (7) by means of a fluid stream passing the wing (3). The power plant (1) comprises an element (13) arranged to change or allow change of the distance between the vehicle (2) and the structure (9) continuously over or during parts of the predetermined trajectory (7), thereby reducing the variation in speed of the vehicle (2) over the predetermined trajectory (7) and/or allowing electrical power to be generated from the variation in distance by means of a transducer (10) arranged to be attached to the power plant (1). The advantage of the invention is that an increased efficiency is obtainable for the power plant.
